3. 12/6/2007 Weekly Planning Meeting3 Yesterday’s Maintenance Access Mostly Subsystem troubleshooting and maintenance No major tasks/efforts undertaken.

4. 12/6/2007 Weekly Planning Meeting4 CM Ladder/Stair Shutdown Access These ladders rec’d Top of stair landing in shop, expect ~ 2weeks Field fit components during next few maintenance accesses; install on west during end of d-Au run access

5. 12/6/2007 Weekly Planning Meeting5 RPC Factory

6. 12/6/2007 Weekly Planning Meeting6 Electrical – Mike R. finishing CAD’s dirty work to get it running. Safety systems – Need to install safety control rack, need to install gas lines to sniff. Need “mini blue sheet” review/checkout. Can continue system checkout with manual/portable safety monitoring?? Equipment – Need specs for rolling rotating cart; gap, module and ½ octant storage racks, then need to fabricate assemble and install. Work plan – Gas procedure approved. Add to work plan book. As soon as safety system interlocks are installed, operational and “blue sheeted”, prototype testing may begin. Production operations require work plan update to include factory gas operation and final assembly/test procedures. RPC Factory Issues, cont. Security –RPC group to review C-A policy (3 tier requirement as required by C-A procedure 1.20) RPC group will prepare a one page description of how they intend to comply with this requirement. This will be reviewed by C-A.

7. 12/6/2007 Weekly Planning Meeting7 Remaining Action Items from C-A safety review: Gas monitoring equipment to be calibrated and tested per BNL requirements – Equipment is manufacturer calibrated. Will be tested with mini “blue sheet” check out. Max flow rates incl. chambers in storage for all gases to be forwarded to M. van Essendelft – still needs to be done before factory startup Approved security apparatus to protect against theft – see above RPC Factory Issues, cont.

8. 12/6/2007 Weekly Planning Meeting8 RPC & MuTrigger FEE Project Status Some North potential locations for FEE rack West of MMN, north of TOFW racks Above MMN north of bridge

9. 12/6/2007 Weekly Planning Meeting9 RPC & MuTrigger Cont’d Other potential locations Above North MuID steel (probably better for an RPC rack there) Above TOFW north racks

10. 12/6/2007 Weekly Planning Meeting10 RPC & MuTrigger Cont’d On the south side above the MMS upper bias lampshade there is space. Interferences with removing lampshades on west side of MMS and moving MMS east-west for maintenance need to be dealt with

15. Half Octant Design15 11/30/07 15 Support Structure Advantages of this “S” support structure It allows the modules to be secured without drilling into modules Bolts Modules are pushed up against the C-Channel by the “ S ” Brace and are locked into place -No bolts go through the modules, this helps spread any type of torque or force placed on the modules

16. 12/6/2007 Weekly Planning Meeting16 Other Work Clean Out Container: Material is evaluated. Clean out and dispose by end of Nov. Procedure review – pick up where we left off VTX/FVTX projects: beampipe upgrade project, prototype test support NCC – Richie supporting Eduoard design modifications New Crane: safety review to support acquisition and installation next summer

17. 12/6/2007 Weekly Planning Meeting17 Safety, Security, Etc. : 1.Training: Should all techs get film badges?? All techs should have RAD worker training. RPC installations in tunnel will require it. 2.From CAD Safety: We should review OPM 2.35, Snow Removal at http://www.rhichome.bnl.gov/AGS/Accel/SND/OPM/Ch02/02-35.PDF to see the protocol on which buildings get priority in snow removal and how you call MCR to get other areas on the snow removal priority list. Note that the table in Attachment 8.1 to this OPM is being revised and will be issued shortly. PHENIX (1008) is a high priority during snow emergencies. http://www.rhichome.bnl.gov/AGS/Accel/SND/OPM/Ch02/02-35.PDF 3.CAD Safety Notice: CR123-type lithium batteries used in flashlights at other DOE facilities have overheated, exploded, and even caused fires. The quality of some of these batteries is suspect and may have caused or contributed to these events.

19. 12/6/2007 Weekly Planning Meeting19 2008 Shutdown Less than 6 months away 2 half-octants of RPC’s, 1 each in sta 2 & 3 South (will need installation fixtures, gas supplies, electronics support, etc.) Install 1 octant of Cu absorber “new” scaffolding for sta 1 and 2 North New crane in CM MuTr decapacitations New platforms for MUTrgr FEE Racks Reinstall HBD ??????? Tunnel infrastructure modifications to accommodate RPC’s
